Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>High school: mid-sized public school
Ethnicity: White. I'm a Ukrainian immigrant, and English is my second language. I don't know if this matters at all, but I've heard that it can make some sort of impact.
Unweighted GPA: 4.0/4.0
Class rank: 1/370ish
SAT: 2300/2400 and 1530/1600, depending on how the school wants to look at it
SAT IIs: I haven't taken them yet.
Course rigor: 9 total APs (expected; I haven't seen my schedule for next year), and multiple honors courses. I'm going to have 4 years of foreign language.
AP test scores: a little all over the place, but I've been told they don't matter for admissions (?)
ECs/activities:
Varsity tennis (4 years)
National Honor Society (2 years)
National Spanish Honor Society (2 years)
School "Link Crew"-- we mentor incoming freshmen throughout the school year (2 years)
City's "Youth Commission"-- work with the city government to put youth on adult boards, thus giving us a voice in the community (2 years).
DECA-- 2nd place at the state conference in my event this past year; attended national conference and Washington DC networking conference. Secretary of my specific section of the class/club (2 years)
Work: I held a job throughout most of junior year (hated it; ended up quitting) and will be getting another one senior year.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for the help!:)</p>

<p>You seem to be in the ballpark stat wise for all. NYU would appear to be a safety. Rec’s and essays will be important for the most competitive schools. Nice job. Good luck.</p>

<p>Stern isn’t a safety, but NYU CAS would be close to that category. You have great stats but ECs are decent, so Columbia reach, Princeton Reach, Stern high match/low reach.
USC safety/low match.</p>

<p>EDIT: You have the stats to get into Ivy league, but they are extremely competitive so they are still reaches in my opinion, although you have a much better shot than most.
Good Luck!</p>

<p>You have the numbers to get a half/full tuition scholarship at USC, so I encourage you to apply!</p>
